success. >> you want to be careful what you grow where, but it gives us a huge array of microclimates so we can practically grow anything in salinas and carmel valley. >> the climate diversity has resulted in more than 40 varieties. and consumers are drinking what the country has to offer from chardonnay to the shira. >> this is the only winery we've been to, but even at home we drink wine from monterey. >> it produces some 40,000 acres of grapes each year and is home to 125 unique vineyards. the wineries are scattered along three stretches the 101 corridor, which goes scouth to king city, and the road south of salinas and the popular mecca of tasting opportunities along carmel valley road. there is a wide range in the size of operations. from those bottling tens of thousands of cases a year to boutique businesses, whose labels are only sold on local shelves. the number of stops you can make

in a few short miles is astound and exploding. >> we just opened up our tasting room about three weeks ago and supposedly a couple other wineries are supposed to open up pretty shortly. >> it's tough to compete with the world renown napa valley which atracts more than 4 1/2 million visitors are year. but wine enthusiasts are toasting the charm of their latest discovery. >> we have done napa a few times and we have run into the crowds and also just the price. >> the industry is capitalizing on and catering to the grape attraction. and connoisseurs are speaking up. >> you see that in the scores and the wine critics are starting to take notice and we are getting a lot of 90 plus point wines from most of the agreers in monterey county. >> it seems winemakers and wine lovers are savoring the regions sweet taste of respect. in carmel valley, abc7 news. >> i wonder what impact our

unusual weather is having on the vineyards? >> they like the variety of the cold marks and the warmer averages. this morning has been quite mild. this morning i saw one 50-degree temperatures. everyone else in the 60s and 70s. 59 in half moon bay. nice shot vulmer peak. overall a clear start and that's due to the winds. and a warmer start with pretty much the 50s. although novato and santa rosa are cool. here's our roof camera. we are looking to a sunny and nice start to the weekend with the sun coming up 7:25. setting at 5:07. look at oakland 57 san francisco 51. good morning san jose and 49 in livermore. concord 52. already with a little winds we are up to 45 in napa and a couple upper 30s. not too hard to take in novato and santa rosa. here are the winds.

this is pretty much why we are so mild. the southeast wind at the airport at 10, but a north wind from santa rosa and the easterly wind, a little gusty in concord down in the valley but we are talking about mountain view gusts to 18. but above about 1500 feet some winds are over 30 miles an hour. that's put the temperatures up anywhere from 6 to 20 degrees warmer than yesterday's readings. so we had a nice mild afternoon yesterday but we are starting out with very mild conditions. so certainly everyone in the mid-and upper 60s today with a lot of sunshine. even a few 70s possible. we hit a couple records yesterday. maybe a few more records today. still dry weather into next week. it's getting to be just the same old, same old. take a look at the pacific satellite. look how huge this ridge is. a big dominant ridge of high pressure pushing all of the cloud cover, the jet stream well into canada, and you can see the ridge right here building over much of the west coast.

with that, we are looking at temperatures as much as 10 to 15 degrees above normal. but by tomorrow those winds are bogey to shift to a more onshore component and that's because this area of high pressure will be drifting off to the east. it's a pretty good thing because we have the low relative humidity. the higher fire danger in the sierra nevada and some very gusty wind from the grapevine in southern california and those 70s which just don't team right at the coast in january. 54 yosemite. 50 tahoe. sacramento, 61 degrees today. so we will be looking at mild to warm afternoon again. in fact, half moon bay out of the 50s today, for low 60s. san francisco low 60s. a little breezy. our winds will be switching around out of the north today. so it will still be a very mild afternoon. and down by the monterey bay temperatures hitting about 70 for a couple of neighbors from salinas to watsonville. the look ahead will show it

won't last. we just wish we could get some rain in here. tomorrow a little fog maybe but the cooler weather really comes in on tuesday and then we will see numbers in the low to mid-60s about the rest of the week. so day-to-day we don't seem to see anything breaking through this pattern. >> very strange. >> all right. thank you, lisa. well, you are about to start seeing a new technology exclusively here on abc7 when we do our traffic reports. it's a free app you can download called waze that helps you avoid traffic jams and also lets you become an abc7 news traffic spotter to help make our traffic reports more accurate. here's abc7s jonathan bloom with more on exactly how it works. >> take a left at middle field road. >> frank commutes every day from san carlos to palo alto. >> it's usually 30 minutes door to door with very little traffic

>> on a bad day what is it? >> on a bad day it's been as much as an hour and ten minutes. >> to cut down on the bad days frank has been using a free app called waze. it tells you where the traffic jams are and how to get around them and it does it by gathering realtime gps data from its millions of users as they drive. >> we have a community of 10 million drivers who are responsible for helping us collect all the information. it's all driven by the crowd all created by the crowd. >> waze v.p. thinks of it as a win win. they share that are coordinates with fellow users in turn for a free turn by turn navigation service that gets more accurate as more people use it. >> it's 100% a community. people know all they have to do is open the application and drive with it and they are contributing to the information that everybody else gets. >> it works on pretty much any newer smartphone or tablet with a gps receiver. that means pretty much any android device, newer models of the blackberry, the i-phone and 3g models of the ipad.

>> frank uses waze mounted in a suction cup holder so he can keep both hands on the wheel. you should never type while driving. in fact, waze won't let you because it's dangerous and illegal. but if you are parked or a passenger, frank showed you how you can report traffic problems. >> i can say there's moderate traffic and send, and now it has put an alert there. >> those alerts help other drivers and they help abc7 news traffic give you the most accurate and detailed reports. >> so you have heavy traffic as well, and this is telling you it is on octavia streets. >> city streets and back roads have always been a challenge for reporters. traditional maps rely on underground speed sensors usually only found on freeways. so they are using waze to get the missing information. >>. >> right now the thing i'm most excited about is just taking the driver down to the street level especially if there's an incident. >> incident reports on waze are up to the second.

>> there it is, there's the truck. >> frank acknowledges he has seen it too. >> so we can give it the thumbs up. there you go. >> if you joined the traffic spotters group on waze we will mention you on air if you help us out. >> blip trip is moving 10 miles an hour so that verifies the speeds on the central freeway. >> you can download it by going to abc7 news/waze or go to the itunes or android marketplace. then join our traffic spotters group. >> the more abc7 news traffic spotters we have, the morrow reliable the information will be. >> take a right. >> on the road in palo alto, jonathan bloom, abc7 news. >> to become an exclusive abc7 traffic spotter you can download the waze on the itunes app store on the android market. to learn more go to abc7news.com/waze. don't go away, 7 on your side is next. >> a couple buys a lifetime protection plan for a leather chair, but it won't pay for their repairs. i'm michael finney. 7 on your side is coming up.

dinner? candles? i wanted it to be special. oh, what's this? it's progresso's new loaded potato with bacon. mmm, it's good. honey, i love you and... oh my gosh oh my gosh.. look at these big pieces of potato. yeah but honey i love you and... is that what i think it is...it is...

it's bacon. honey look. [ male announcer ] progresso rich and hearty... 4 new flavors, you can lose yourself in. what's that? big piece of potato. [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. >> welcome back, it's 6:49 on this sunday january 8th. we appreciate you spending part of your sunday with us. this is a live look from our mount tam cam. that's a beautiful shot. certainly a nice way to get the morning going. >> we have another lesson about how and when to pie extended warranties. what if you already bought one and it won't help with repairs? here's michael finney with one couple's frustrating story. >> notice the cracking. >> less than a year after ed and

adalena bought the chair, they noticed a small crack in its upholstery. soon the crack grew bigger, and then another crack, and another, and then another. >> it looks like it is getting bigger. >> when i first noticed the cracking, when i see it i could feel it. some of it could be sharp. >> the couple figured no problem, they purchased this lifetime leather protection plan, along with the chair at jennifer convertibles in coma, so they contacted the store and asked to have the chair repaired or replaced under that protection plan. >> they weren't going to fix anything. that's what they told me. >> even though you bought the warranty, it doesn't cover. >> they were stunned when jennifer convertible said the lifetime guarantee does not cover this type of damage. the retailer pointed to the list of exclusions right here in the warranty. it doesn't cover fading, cracking and peeling. >> why not? i mean, that's what your salesman, jim, told us, that you

don't need to worry, for that amount of money you will pay you have nothing to worry. he even mentioned about the cracking and the peeling. >> they claimed the salesperson promised the warranty would cover all damage, regardless of exclusions. >> that's why, you know, we decided to buy the warranty. >> the couple said they wouldn't have paid $179 for the protection plan if they had known this could happen, and the warranty wouldn't help. they filed a complaint with the better business bureau, and they contacted 7 on your side. we found more than a dozen similar complaints online from other jennifer customers who were also upset their leather crack and the plan wouldn't kick in. >> after even two weeks we see response from them. >> the spokesperson said the couple should have known about the terms, saying the problem they complain of is clearly listed as an exclusion on the copy of the plan they were provided with in writing at the time of sale.

the plan actually covers only accidental customer-caused damage such as nicks, punctures, rips, scratches and cigarette burns. however, jennifer said, because the couple is not satisfied with those terms the company will refund the $179 they paid for the plan as a courtesy. which sits just fine with ed and adalena. >> channel 7 has a lot to do with this. i'm really very happy. >> the lesson here is to read all the terms of a protection plan before you buy it. if it says lifetime guarantee on the top, find out exactly what is guaranteed. it may not be the coverage you want. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> up next from the land of blood and honey, angelina jolie delivers a powerful message about love and war.

>> here are the winning numbers from last neat's super lotto plus. woo-hoo, someone in the bay area won. a text purchased in san lorendo had all six numbers. if it's you call us up and let us know. we will help you spend some of that money. in theaters this weekend the graphic war film "in the land of blood and honey." the movie has been nominated for a golden globes award. it's written, produced and directed by a woman usually associated with glamour, angelina jolie. here's arts and entertainment reporter don sanchez on the isle. >> it is a war story, but it's also a love story. but in this setting, a doomed love story. it's bosnia, 1992.

she is a captain in the army. la is an artist. she's a serbian, he's a muslim. their world is exploding around them. >> i have business. >> i don't think you want to be here. he protects her while other soldiers show no mercy. what they do to women is almost unbearable to watch. their faces show hopelessly. >> off with your heads with you! >> let me make one thing clear. they dubbed in english for these chips. -- clips. the film is in serbian with subtitles. it is a foreign language film. jolie stays mostly on target with a film that leaves us with a powerful message about two people on opposite sides of a war, always with doubt and inevitability.

>> she'll kill me. >> she's not to be trusted. >> this film is bloody, brutal grim, unflinching and it's depiction of in humanity in war. it's obviously influenced by angelina jolies concern about atrocities and abuses committed against women worldwide. it is not a feel-good film. you will walk out feeling exhausted. i'll give it three quarters of a bucket. i'm don sanchez, abc7 news and we will see you on the isle. >> let's get to final check of the accuweather forecast. >> if you stick your head outside it feels warm and, boy, is it gorgious. here's the camera. clear conditions. windy above 1,000 feet but the winds have worked to bring us a mild start to the day. and this afternoon as nice as yesterday, some upper 60s around the bay. enjoy it. we will cool back a little more tomorrow. 62 in san francisco, with the westerly winds tomorrow our above-normal temperatures will

slowly come down. tuesday looks to be the coolest day of the week. by the rest of the work week, we are just same old, same old mild with those chilly mornings and chilly nights. >> all right. that is going to do it for us. thank you for joining us. our next newscast starts at 9:00 this morning. i'm carolyn tyler. along with lisa keep track ever the latest breaking news on twitter on abc7 news bay area. you can talk about it on facebook. good morning america is up next. hey guys, breakfast! ♪ ♪ [ female announcer ] if whole grain isn't the first ingredient in your breakfast cereal what is? now, in every box of general mills big g cereal, there's more whole grain than any other ingredient. that's why it's listed first on the side. from honey nut cheerios to cinnamon toast crunch to lucky charms, get more whole grain than any other ingredient... without question.
